Abstract: Within the United States, some 17 trillion standard cubic feet of gas are produced, transported, and distributed to customers each year. This gas must be metered several times as it is purchased and resold by various companies, and finally to the end user. It is essential that the metering of gas flows be accurate, reliable, and efficient. The goal of the Metering Research Facility (MRF) program, sponsored primarily by the Gas Research Institute (GRI) and conducted by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), is to improve the technology for gas flow measurement at field installations where the business of buying and selling gas takes place. Significant changes within in the gas industry in recent years have placed more stringent requirements on metering accuracy and repeatability. As these changes take place, it is necessary to evaluate new technologies under carefully controlled field equivalent conditions to meet industrys needs of identifying and quantifying systems effects on accuracy and economic effectiveness of the measurement system. The current needs of the gas industry in the area of metering are identified by the American Gas Association (A.G.A.) Gas Measurement Plan (Ref. 2).
